Cannabis in Kaunas, Lithuania: my journey

Hello, cannabis enthusiasts! As you may be aware, cannabis laws and regulations can differ significantly from place to place. Join me as I delve into the world of cannabis in Kaunas. In this post, I will explore the landscape of cannabis laws, regulations, the local community's stance, interactions with law enforcement, comparisons between hash and weed availability, as well as the costs associated with acquiring cannabis in Kaunas.

I have just finished my trip to Kaunas, stayed there for 10 days, now got back home, writing this post while memory is fresh and with a solid joint in my left hand. As a regular weed smoker I could not imagine my stay in Kaunas without having some weed in my pocket. Below I will outline information I found out while looking for some good smelly green buds in Kaunas.

Attitude of locals to cannabis in Kaunas

Even though high THC cannabis is strictly regulated in Kaunas - local inhabitants of Kaunas are not against it at all. Young people and tourists are top target audiences for weed dealers. This does not mean you may walk and smoke joints on the streets, but also no one will be too surprised seeing someone smoking weed.

As Brian told - even local cops in Kaunas sometimes use cannabis. So in general we may conclude that the atmosphere in Kaunas is relaxed when we speak about cannabis. Just behave correctly and watch your back - and everything should be cool.

Brian shared with me a small joint of some unknown indica strain that evening, this was exactly what I needed. We were a little bit drunk and were smoking near my hotel directly on the street near trash containers, and it seems I saw other guys doing the same on the opposite side of the street.

One joint is good - but I needed weed for the whole period of my stay in Kaunas , so asked Brian if he could share contacts of his cannabis dealer. The answer was negative, simply because his dealer did not accept new people. But as we became close after the joint - Brian agreed to become my dealer for the nearest days, so all my issues with weed were resolved, thanks to Brian!

Where to search for weed in Kaunas

While Brian became my temporary cannabis dealer (and this was the answer for me to all my questions) - he told me how things work in Kaunas.

Top tier dealers in Kaunas purchase cannabis on darknet websites that handle wholesale orders that may contain kilograms of weed and hash. Some darknet dealers process small orders as well, so if you are ready to understand Tor browser and how .onion sites work + ready to wait several days for delivery - take a look on thehiddenwiki.com - it has all links and info you will need about darknet.

If you're on a short vacation or a trip to Kaunas, obtaining cannabis through wholesale darknet websites isn't a viable option. Searching for street or park dealers remains a possibility for acquiring weed in Kaunas, but an increasing number of dealers are transitioning to online transactions through messaging apps and Bitcoin payments instead of cash. This approach serves as a protective measure against potential encounters with law enforcement. Crypto payments offer anonymity, and deliveries are made to specified locations without the need for in-person meetings, ensuring both you and the dealer are shielded from potential consequences.

This revelation surprised me, as I lean toward a more traditional approach and had only heard about cryptocurrencies in passing. However, these days, most young individuals, who are often the target audience for cannabis dealers, possess crypto wallets, so dealers are simply adapting to this trend. While I believe that some dealers might lose business because not all clients are familiar with cryptocurrencies, Brian pointed out that nowadays, if you don't use crypto yourself, you likely have a friend who does. In such cases, you can simply transfer money from your card to your crypto-savvy friend, and they can conduct the cryptocurrency transaction on your behalf. This advice from Brian got me thinking, and I realized I also have such a friend, so I followed his suggestion.

Marijuana regulations in Kaunas, Lithuania

You should know that storage and distribution of non-medical cannabis is forbidden and strictly regulated by laws of Lithuania. This means you can not go and buy some good weed in an official shop like you may do in Canada for example. Low THC and high CBD cannabis may be ordered if you have a prescription from a doctor.

On my first evening in Kaunas I met Brian who moved here a couple of years ago. I got lucky - he was one of the heavy weed smokers, so he agreed to share a joint with me and tell me some stories about local dealers. As he said from the very beginning - even though weed is prohibited in Kaunas - cops are overall calm and relaxed in everything related to cannabis, this made me feel better.

What if I get caught with weed in Kaunas?

In practice, as Brian said - if you are 18+ and carry less than 20 grams of weed or 10 grams of hash and do not smoke in public - you should not expect any arrest. As a maximum, cops will confiscate your stuff after they ensure you are not a dealer who delivers stuff.

There are some stories about occasional cops forcing people to give them a bribe after catching someone with weed, but such cases are rare. Usually cops do not touch foreign tourists who are spending their vacation or business trip in Kaunas and bring money to Lithuania.

Can I smoke cannabis on the streets in Kaunas ?

In some places, smoking marijuana in public, on the streets, or in parks may be illegal and subject to administrative sanctions. My advice is to try to avoid smoking marijuana in public places.

What will happen if I get caught with cannabis in Kaunas ?

Usually, law enforcement tends to be lenient with tourists, and if they don't suspect you of dealing, they will most likely let you go.

Can you recommend a place to buy weed in Kaunas ?

As I mentioned before, I was fortunate to meet Brian. If I were you, I would look for Telegram channels and avoid interacting with street dealers.

Weed and hash pricing in Kaunas?

Prices may vary from one dealer to another and depends on weed quality and dealer’s greediness😂From what I heard from Brian - high quality weed may go up to $20 - $25 for 1g (the more you buy the cheaper price you get), and high quality hash should be around $30 - $35 for 1g.

Can I find top quality weed in Kaunas?

Yes, while quality may differ, it depends on many factors. Usually quality depends on the price, but this is not a rule.

Can I find hash in Kaunas?

Yes, almost all cannabis dealers sell both weed and hash, so hash is also popular and can be found in Kaunas.
